Hi Anna,

I reported the time away from the program. One of my PGY1’s was on maternity leave and missed her 4 week peds ortho and 4 week skills rotations. The skills were just made up with extra teaching through the end of the year. I reported 20 weeks of ortho and then in question 4 I just copied what I put in the letter we had to send to the ABOS earlier this year explaining her FMLA and our plan to make up the deficit. In her case, it’s 4 weeks of ortho that she’s missing which she’ll make up by averaging at least 46 and no more than 50 weeks of education over the course of her PGY2-5.

Hope that helps!

I just asked Sonya Parker at ABOS if I needed to send a letter reporting a maternity leave or just report via RRA forms since I also have a resident on maternity leave and I didn’t think about a letter. This was her response:

“Please report through the RRA forms, if the resident will not complete their education with their graduating class, we do require a letter indicating the remediation plan for the resident to complete their education. If they are going to be a late graduate or make up additional time other than through averaging PGY-2–PGY-5, we will need a letter.”

So it sounds like if they don’t need to make up time, you just report what they’ve done via RRA Forms. I plan to indicate that she was on a LOA in the comments.  I hope this helps.

Yes, my intern did FMLA earlier this year, so that’s why I did a letter to the ABOS because she was under the 46 weeks and the new RRA wasn’t up and running yet!

Just put how many weeks they spent on a Trauma rotation/service. Here’s a screenshot of my PGY4s.
